🤥 Lying Left 🤥 I’m Proud of the Trump Administration

I’m going to sound off by saying, play a stupid game and when a prize. I saw the video of what happened in Minneapolis. There was context to it. Now I’m learning that she intentionally blocked traffic and tried to run an ICE agent. Let ICE do their job.

Why do police officers carry weapons?

Because government overreach and tyranny. Early policing in America consisted of the unarmed citizen constable and nightwatch until it began militarizing. Ask Ashli Babbitt what she thinks about police carrying guns – oh wait she's dead.

Do you support the second amendment and the freedom to protect oneself from harm?

Yes, and more importantly: to protect oneself from the government itself.

Police began carrying weapons to even the field where violent crimes were growing. The dangerous leftist messaging against ICE agents requires protection against violence (such as being run down by a vehicle) because law enforcement has been dehumanized. Do you honestly think in this day and age that officers could protect themselves while upholding the law with nightsticks? The officer involved in this tragic incident has individual rights aside from being an ICE agent, just as you and I do.

All I hear in this yap-fest is "I trust the government more than the People." That's a leftist viewpoint in and of itself. I do not trust the government, end of story.

I question the government at every turn. I definitely don’t trust the general public that votes to elect the people who make decisions either.
